Used Bentley Bentayga cars for sale

The Bentley Bentayga comes with a refined engine that offers a relaxingly quiet driving experience. It's extremely agile and maintains surprisingly great composure when cornering at high speeds, making it feel like you're driving a smaller SUV. However, you can easily feel road imperfections inside the cabin, especially if you're riding on the larger 22-inch wheels. For this reason, the smaller wheels might be a better choice for you.

You can only choose from 3 different engines options for the Bentatga. The most economical powertrain is the plug-in hybrid, which pairs together a 443 bhp 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine with an electric motor. It's the same powertrain as the Porsche Cayenne and records a time of 5.5 seconds to dash from 0-62 mph, with a top speed of 158 mph and an electric range of 24 miles. The 542 bhp V8 is the mid-range engine option, which takes 4.5 seconds to hit 62 mph and maxes out at 180 mph. The most powerful engine is the range-topping 6.0-litre W12, which is a super-refined version of the W12 engine powering the Bentley Continental GT.

The Bentley Bentayga's selectable driving modes include the Bentley, Comfort, Custom and Sport mode. If you don't like messing around with the steering weight or throttle response while driving, you'll find that the default Bentley drive mode is more than sufficient for a poised ride. The Sport mode slightly stiffens the SUV's air springs and activates Bentley's Dynamic Ride Control, resulting in better stability.

The luxurious hand-crafted cabin is the first thing you notice when you slide into the Bentayga. There is a lustrous combination of soft leather, sleek metal inserts, rich wooden trimming and a few quality plastics. You can enjoy an airy feeling while listening to your favourite playlist blasting from the multiple speakers in the cabin, and you can control the audio and sat-nav through the intuitive infotainment screen on the centre console.

The standard 4-seat layout of the Bentley Bentayga offers plenty of room for the driver and the passengers. Going for the roomier 3-person rear seat option doesn't affect the space or comfort either. However, the boot space isn't too impressive, offering just 484 litres of luggage room. However, the powered hands-free tailgate does make it very easy to access.

Although the Bentley Bentayga has never been crash-tested by the Euro NCAP, the safety equipment and advanced technology kits on the Bentley should clear your doubts when it comes to safety. Electronic stability control and 8-airbags are just some of the standard kits that come on board with the newer versions of the Bentayga. In addition, the Bentley shares the underpinnings and many of the same features as the Audi Q7, which earned a 5-star safety rating in the Euro NCAP crash test.
